Dawn at the Wall

DAWN AT THE WALL

He was standing behind our Wall,
Watching through the windows,
Peeking through the lattices.

Have you ever stood at the dawnsbreak
In front of the Holy Place?
When, at that very moment, the Sun peeks
Over the lattice of the horizon,
And a cacophony of voices whisper in silence
"Ga-al...(Yisrael)"

The Redeemer of Israel stands
behind the Wall of the World,
Peeking through the cracks
filled with moss and lichen,
The birds wheel overhead,
Speaking the language of redemption.

He has not moved from this Wall
for two thousand years.
He will never leave here
He will never leave us.
